Character Design for The SPA Studio's "The Three Wise Men"






Life drawings made at the Disney studio in Montreuil


Character Design for The SPA Studio's "Twaambo"

Visual research for another good SPA project.


Hello. Please bear in mind that Chirisi, top left monkey, was handicapped in its left arm.

A Hollywood star



Character design for Blue Sky's "Rio"

Also made at The Spa Studio, under Sergio Pablo's supervision.

I had to re-design Linda's features from the first concept someone else had made. 
So the final version of hers came out from Madrid.






I know the movie was about parrots. Sergio made an extraordinary work with them.
But there were cats too. Houndreds of them to get into the good one for Clyde
I took care of them.

Some more recent stuff

The Band



Character design for The SPA Studio's "Giacomo's Secret".

The Spa Studio were formerly known as Animagic Studios. 
Both studios have been and are owned and directed by my good friend Sergio Pablos.
I created the characters for Sergio's project under his inspirating supervision and always relaying on the help of his extraordinary draftsman skills.
It was a beautiful and unforgetable time. We were both just back from our recpective Disney studios (Sergio at Burbank, as supervising animator; me in Paris, as animator) and worked hard together for a project in which we deeply believed.
Pretty sadly, the movie finally didn't come up. 
Anyway, I'll always thank Sergio for giving me my first chance to do visual development and character desing.
This is some of the remaining art from that time.
